What is love l I asked a maiden,
Beaming' bright in beauty's sky, -
Love she knew arid with it laden,
Were the arrows in her eye ; .
Blushes soft came o’er her stealing,
Lo w her words of music fell
“Love’s a strange delicious; feeling,
What it is I cannot tell.’’
What is love 1 I asked the glory
Of my household and my life,
When in after years the story
Of my passion won a wife ;
Deep in mine her glances glowing,
Burned with love and golden glee,
While her arms around me throwing
Kisses sweet she gave to me.
What is love 1 O, brightest angel!
Wilt thou not thyself unroll ?
Lo I I feel thy soft evangel
Stir the waters of my soul;
Love is joy divinely given
To the souls of earth again,
Binding heart to heart and heaven,
With God’s own electric chain.
“Every Eittle Helps.”
What if a drop of rain should plead—
“So small a drop as I
Can ne’er refresh the thirsty mead;
Fll tarry in the sky.”
What, if the shining beam of noon
Should in its fountain stay ;
Because its feeble light alone
Cannot create a day ?
Does not each rain-drop help to form
The cool, refreshing shower ?
And every ray of light, to warm
And beautify the flower 1
Eittle Tilings.
Scorn not the slightest word or deed,
Nor deem it void of power;
There’s fruit in each wind-wafted seed.
Waiting its natal hour.
A whispered word may touch the heart,
And call it back to life;
A look of love bid sin depart,
And still unholy strife.
No act falls fruitless; none can tell
How vast its power may be,
Nor what results enfolded dwell
Within it silently.
Work and despair not; give thy mite,
Nor eare how small it be ;
God is with all that serve the right,
The holy, true, and free!
on receiving a glove irom a la-
Epigiam
dy:—
I’ll keep the gift, where’er I rove,
For ’twas my pride, my joy to win it;
But when you next give me a glove,

Major?” said the Doctor.
“Not much Doctor,” replied the Major.
“Went to the Lodge last night, and after
coming out, drank a few toddies, and my
friends drank that toast twice, I believe, for
every toddy I drank; well, as I went home,
I thought myself destined never to seethe
Lone Star again, for I thought that every
star in the heavens had a thousand compan
ions, and that every one of them was wink
ing their little eyes at me, and putting their
little fingers oh their little noses, and • ma
king evolutions with their little hands-cs,
as much as to say, “Aint you a pretty fel
low to be talking about your Lone Star,
when, by talking in the whole constellation,
you might be in such good company?” The
fact was, I thought every lamp light was a
comet with a fiery tail; and the red tip of
every man’s cigar, who passed me in the
street, a mysterious nebula. Oh, but Doc
tor, I’m very sick—can’t you give me some
thing that’ll cure me? I tried three cock
tails this morning, and I find they haven’t
cared the fever—not in the least.”
“Let me feel your pulse, Major,” said the
Doctor. [Feels] “You are feverish, that’s a
fact, put out your tongue, [looks] Yes, you’re
right sick Major; what would you say to
have four of your front teeth pulled out ? I
think that would relieve you.”
“Oh! I see,” said the Major, “you want to
operate on me ic spite to my teeth,” [the
Major, truth to speak, has an excellent set
of ivories—white and sound as those of an
Ethiopian] “but,” he added, “I won’t stand
it.”
“Well then,” said the Doctor, “suppose
we treat your case on the Homeopathic
principle, and give you toddies, which caus
ed the fever, in small doses, for the purpose
of allaying it?”
Well, Doctor,” said the Major, “I have no
objection to that; *1. would rather take a
dozen toddies than lose a tooth any day.”
“Weil, then, turn in there/’ said the Doc
tor, pointing to abed in the room, “butbe
fore you lie down, take this,” filing out an
enormous go of brandy, which the Major,
medicinally made to disappear. “Now,
keep still there,” said the Doctor, “go to
sleep, and when you awake, you will feel as
well as ever you did.”
But the Major could not keep still; he
could not go to sleep; grotesque looking lit
tle men, he thought, were coming up and
laughing at him; old women with lone stars
in their foreheads, were shaking their gory
locks at him, and little fish with fiery tails
were whisking them about his face. Sleep
he could not, and hearing feet coming up
the stairs, he listened with nervous atten
tion, for lie still had some method in his
madness. Feigning to be asleep, he cover
ed up his head, and for the time kept quiet
—as quiet as if he had undergone a mes
meric operation, though he was wide awake
all the time.
Now, the owners of the feet which he
heard coming up the stairs, were the Doctor
and a mattress-maker, whom he had sent
for to measure the very bed in which the
Major lav, for a new mattress to match, and
it so happened that they were discoursing
of a patient of the Doctor’s an acquaintance
of the mattress-maker, who, a few days be
fore, was conveyed to the Charity Hospi
tal.
“So you don’t think he’ll live, Doctor?’
said the mattress maker.
“1 donTthink he can, William,” said the
Doctor, don’t believe he’ll be alive
twenty-four hours.”
At this, the Major pricked up his ears;
the phantoms which troubled him had van
ished, and believing that he was the sub
ject of the discourse to which he listened,
actual and immediate death began to stare
him in the face. He drew the clothes from
jor, staring at the mattress-maker, as he
threw up in the bed; ‘You’ll take the meas
ure for my coffin, will you, G—d d—n you;
clear out, or I’ll give a job to some one
who’ll have to make your coffin; and you,”
said he to the Doctor, “you that I believed
to be my friend, you, too, conspire against
my life! You want my teeth, do you? D—n
me, I’ve a mind to knock your teeth down
vour throat this instant; now I tell yon, I
shant die; nor shall this scoundrel make my
coffin, although he has taken my measure,
but I reckon I have got his; nor shall you
have my teeth, any way you can fix it—that
yon wont.”
The denouement was now understood by
the Doctor and the mattress-maker, and
they were not long in convincing the Major
of tiie error under which he labored. He
took another toddy, turned in, and had a
good sleep, and awoke relieved from all the
sickly fancies of being killed with chloro
form, having his teeth sawed out, and being
dissected by juvenile Sawbones. His K/uipp
wholly relived him.
Two Strings to the Bow—“Well, Hodge,”
said a smart looking Londoner to a plain
cottager, who was on his way home from
church, “so you are trudging home after
taking the fine balmy breeze in the country
this morning.”
‘Sir,” said the man, “I have not been
strolling about this sacred morning, wast
ing nry time in idleness, and neglect of re
ligion ; but I have been to the house of God,
to worship him and to hear his word preach
ed,” *
“Ah! what then, .are you one of those
simpletons that, in these country places, are
weak enough to believe the Bible!—Be
lieve me my man, that book is nothing but
a. pack of nonsense, and none but the weak
.and ignorant now think it true.”
“Well but Mr. Stranger do you know,
weak and ignorant as we country people
are, we like to have two strings to our bow?”
“Two strings to your bow! what do you
mean by that?” t
“Why, sir, I mean ihat to believe the
Bible andjact up to it, is like having two
strings to one’s bow: for if it is not true, I
shall be the better man for living according
to it, and so it will he for my good in this
life—that is one string; and if it should be
true, it will be better for me in the next
life—that is another string, and a pretty
strong one it is. But, sir, if you disbelieve
the Bible, and on that account do not live as
itfrequires, you have not even one string to
your bow. And O, if its tremendous
threats prove time, O, think what then, sir,
will become of you!”
This plain appeal silenced tho coxcomb,
and made him feel, it is hoped, that he was
not quite so wise as he had supposed.

of Professor Anderson, the wizard of the
north, and of the Acrobats at Dan Rnce s
circus, but their feats are nothing compared
to those which our friend, the doctor, has
been known to perform. Women whose
garulity, by their husbands arid others, was
believed to be a chronic disease, have been
brought to the doctor arid he has actually j
made them hold their jaw. But we digress.
Our next character is a live Mississippi
Major, quaint of phrase arid curious of ex
pressidh. When he meeteth a fnend, he
drinks his health, and the health of his
friend, and of. his friends’ friends, and of his
own friends, and of all their collateral, and
incidental, and miscellaneous, and promis-
cuous friends, even to the third and fourth
generation; and this he doth at least three
hundred and sixty-five times a year, on an
average! And yet he considers the toast
original—a fact which might lead our .rea
ders to suppose that the Major himself is an
original; and so he is an o
friendship, love of liberty,
1D %ow, the introduction of our third char
acter, we will defer for the present; he will
appear in good time. But to coine_to the
marrow, of the matte?, for, like the Usurper
of France, we have heretofore been playing
(about) the bony part, we will.state that on
the morning aforesaid, the Mississippi Ma
jor, flushed with fever, entered the Doctor s
reception-room
come next. ,.. „.... . .
“Well, the doctors wontcutup his body,
as John Galpiu does his sausage-meat!” said
the mattress-maker. “Will they?”
Here the Major again, by a galvanic effort,
threw out his bead, and again, in the inten-
S sity of horror, drew it under the clothes.

American Revolutionary
Ecague for Europe.
The Philadelphia Ledger publishes a
curious paper, entitled the “Constitution of
the American Revolutionary League for
Europe,” signed by N. Schmidt, of Boston,
President; P. Wagner, of Boston, and J. R.
Fuerst, of Baltimore, vice presidents; and
Mr. Williams, of Baltimore, Mr. Gloss, of
Richmond, and others, a committee. It is
the result of the revolutionary congress
held in Philadelphia from January 29th to
February 1st, 1852. The Ledger says:
The design of the league is to overthrow
monarchy and establish republican democ
racy throughout Europe. For the accom-
plishment of this purpose, the first object is
co-operation of the democratic elements,
and their fusion into cne great party, look
ing only to radical revolution in Europe as
their aim, Heretofore the democratic ele
ments have been disunited, through nation
al antipathies and warring against each
other. They are now to be united for the
destruction of the common venemy, until
which time the contest for “the spoils,”
which usually begins with the first revolu
tionary effort, is to be postponed. The
means to accomplish this object is to have
agitation in Europe as well as America, ac
cumulation of a revolutionary fund, and the
formation of armed organizations in this
country, ready for the struggle when it
comes. Militarj companies are to bo form
ed in every city and county in the Union,
arid auxiliary associations, who pay weekly
contributions to the fund. The whole su
pervision of, affairs is to be under the con
trol of a congress of all the associations,
and during its recess by an executive board.
A political committee of three persons,
elected by this congress, has unrestricted
powers to act in concert with other nation-
alties, to take the steps necessay to accom
plish European revolution. This, in briet
is the organization and object of this asso
ciation; and the question arises how far
they are consistent with the duties which
American citizens owe to their own laws,
and the treaties entered into by the United
States with the nations of Europe. It is a
great scheme of intervention in the affairs
of foreign nations, if not by the government
at least by the people of the United States.
If the organization succeeds to the extent
of its wishes, how long would the govern
ment of the United Stages be able to keep
from meddling with foreign quarrels ?
Before and after Marriage.— Dearest
Ellen, do you love me?” asked Dr. Beeswax
of the pretty little Miss Willow, a few weeks
before Marriage.
“Aye, better than life, better than home
—you are my very soul; parted from you
are my very soul; parted from you I should
wither and decay,, like the flpwers in au
tumn.’’
Said the doctor in reply, “I swear you
are to me aa angel; none so peerless as you.
May my tongue cleave to the. roof of my
mouth, if it ever crossly speaks to you.”.
After the doctor had been married six
months the following confab might have
been heard between him and Mrs. Bees
wax: . .
“Ellen, why don’t you get up? You are
decidedly the laziest woman I ever saw.—
There’s not starch enough in my dickey,
and it’s no use talking to you. I don’t be
lieve you’d wash. your face if 1 it : wasn’t for
shame’s sake.”
“There you go again 1 you cruel brute;
always flying at me. I lead the life of a
dog, and I will go home to mother.”
“Go, and good riddance to bad rubbish.”
“Don’t talk so to me, sir; I won’t stand it;
take that!”
Moreau's Mistake.—When General Mo
reau, who forsook the colors oi Napoleon,
and was afterwards killed fighting against
his former commander in Germany, was
in the city of Boston, he was mueh courted
and sought after as a lion of the first quali
ty. On one occasion he was invited to at-
terid the commencement exercises. In the
course of the day a musical society of un
dergraduates sang a then very popular
Ode, the chorus of which was, To-morrow,
to-morrow, to-iriorrow.” Moreau, who was
imperfectly acquainted with our language
fancied that they were complimenting him ;
and at every recurrence of the burden,
which he interpreted, “To Moreau, to Mo
reau, to Moreau/’ he rose and bowed grace
fully to the Singers’ gallery, pressing his
laced chapeau to his heart. We can easily
imagine the amusement of the spectators
who were in the secret, and the mortifica
tion of the Frenchman, when he discovered
his mistake.
A Fat Woman in A Tight Place*
The following interesting trifle is an ex
tract from a letter from a corpulent lady on
her way to California. She is undoubted
ly “seeing the elephant,” and we pity her :
Our cabin has two boxes in it called
berths, though coffins would be nearer the
thing, for you think more of ycAir latter and
at sea a great deal. One of these is situ
ated over the other like two shelves, and
these together make what they call a state
room. My berth is the uppermost one,
and I have to climb up to it, putting one
foot on the lower one, and the other away
cut on the wash-hand-stand, which is a
great stretch and makes it very straiuiifg--
thenl lift one knee on the berth and roll
in sideways. This is very incovenient for
a woman of my size and very dangerous.
Last night I put my foot bn Mrs. Brown’s
face, as she laid asleep close to the edge of
the lower one, and nearly put out her eye ;
and I have torn all the skin off my knees,
and then I have a large black spot where I
have been hurt, and my head is swelled.
To dismount is another feat of horseman
ship only fit for a sailor. You can’t sit up
for the floor overhead; so you have to turn
round, and roll your legs out first, and then
hold on till you touch bottom somowhere,
and then let yourself down upright. It is
dreadful work, and not very decent for a
delicate female, if the steward happens to
come in when you are in the act this way.
I don’t know which is the hardest to get in
or get out of a berth—both are the most
difficult things .in the world, and I shall be
glad when I am done with it. I am oblig
ed to dress in bed before I leave, and rio-
body who hasn’t tried to put on their
clothes lying down, can tell what a task it
is. Lacing stays behind your back, and
you on your face nearly smothered with
the bedclothes, and feeling for the eyelet
hole with one hand, and trying to put the
tag in with the other, while you are rolling
about from side to side, is no laughing
matter. Yesterday I fastened on the pil
low to my bustle by mistake, in the hurry,
and never knew it till the people laughed
and said the sea agreed with me, I had
had grown so fat; but putting on stock
ings is the worst, for there ain’t room To
stoop forward; so you have to bring your
feet to you, and stretching out ou you? back,
lift your leg till you can reach it, and then
drag it on. Corpulent people can’t always
do this so easy, I can tell you. It always
gives me the cramp, and takes away my
jreath. You will pity me, if you could
conceive; hut you can’t—nobody but a wo
man can tell what a female suffers being
confined in a berth at sea.

maker “what would you advise me to do?”
“Why, to have his coffin made as soon

“Well, in the meantime I had better take

meaning the measure of the bed—the size
of the new matress. .
“Oh, I forgot that,” said the Doctor.
“I had almost forgotten it” said the mat

commences to take the latitude and the

The Major could stand it no longer; he
bolted up right in the bed, casting a mani
acal look at the mattress-maker and oue of
daggers at the doctor. The. mattress-maker
drew back in affright, for he then for the
first time knew that there was any one in
the bed; and he had no immediate desire to

Backing out of a Position.—A somewhat
eccentric lawyer, being engaged in defend
ing a hard case, and not being altogether
pleased with the rules of the presidingjudge,
remarked that he believed the whole court
could be bought with a peck of beans,
The Judge of coarse, took this remark in
high dudgeon, and ordered the lawyer to
sit down, and demanded of him an apology
for this contempt of court, threatening him
with commitment for the offence, if he did
not apologise.
The lawyer, after a little reflection, re
marked that he had said he believed the
court could be bought with a peck-of beans,
that he said it without reflection, and wish
ed to take it back; but, said he. “If I had put
it at half a bushel, I never would have ta
ken it back in the world!”
Hew Substitute for Oil.—The Boston
Commonwealth says that a new illumina
ting fluid has been developed in New York
which will in a great measure supercede
spirit lamps, as spon as the Patent office can
settle its doifcbts. Large manufactories of
benzule, a hydro-carbon, which has the
property of producing an excellent illumi
nating gas by being dissolved in* most air,
are going up in New York and Brooklyn,
The substance isjjmanufactured from tar or
mineral coal, and while it can be afforded
at half the price of “burning fluid” per gal
lon, it will yield indefinitely more ililumina-
tion. The use of it would require a gas
ometer and gas fixtures in each house, but
the cheapness of the eonaumptioh will put
movable lamps of every kind nearly out
of
use.
